Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders and his political offspring, New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have perfected the art of socialist failure theater.
They cannot pass legislation, but they pass the torch. A recent survey revealed that three-quarters of Democrats have a favorable view of Sanders, while roughly half maintain a favorable view of Ocasio-Cortez, easily leaving actual power-broker Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, in the popularity dust.
From waitress to revolutionary.
The traveling circus led by Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez is hitting the road again, this time with a laughably on-the-nose tour called “Fighting Oligarchy.” They need to desperately explain why their revolution keeps face-planting despite their Instagram-worthy approval ratings.
The return of President Donald Trump left many Democrats scrambling, and their brilliant solution is to promote more failed messaging from the same failed messengers.
